  1. Thank you for all suggestions. It looks like the consensus here is agreeing with the turkish doctors: a HT will not be successful. Regarding SMP: i can see its benefits in combination with fue, but I am not comfortable with that solution.
  2. Thanks KO. I agree that if a reasonable improvement via HT is not possible, i'd be better off keeping my bi-weekly buzzing routine. Note: i have quite a white skin and i dont really tan, rather I get to some darker shade of red and it is not very healthy. Plus, leaving in the middle-east, local fashion actually favor white skins. Ironically enough, they sell whitening creams in cosmetics shop here, as opposed to tanning product back in the west.
  3. Hi everyone, just joined the HR social network: I'd like to have your opinion before undergoing HT. My hair loss story is very simple: starting age 18, a gradual loss of hair along familiar patterns to reach current NW7 by age 30. I am now 33 and the hair loss has stabilized over the past couple of years and I am exploring the likelihood of improving my appearance with a surgical hair restoration in August 2014. The obvious first port of call has been the internet and specifically this forum where I have been reading and getting familiar with fue, fut, expectations vs reality and, most importantly, how to choose a good ht doctor. So, first, a big thanks for all who shared their experience. Given my budget. I have contacted four turkish and one indian doctors that other users have been mostly satisfied with, in order: 1. Dr demirsoy 2. Dr koray erdogan 3. Dr doganay 4. Dr bhatti 5. Longevita The first three have declined to take my case at all and politely dismissed me without much additional explanation other than estimating that the donor area is insufficient to have any positive result. Dr bhatti is more positive but is cautioning on expectations: it seems about 3,000 graft could be enough to give a NW3 appearance (an acceptable improvement, in my view). Further BHT and a later additional HT could provide some additional albeit marginal improvement. Lastly, Longevita: the fastest to reply, immediately pricing and chasing for follow up (all good stuff), but it turned out to be a travel agency for medical tourism and I just don't feel I would give myself the best chance by letting intermediaries speculate on my NW7 head. I have added a few pictures to my profile. Given the unexpected rebuttal by 3 out of 4 well respected practitioner, I am now hesitant: I will welcome comments and suggestion on how to bring this HT idea forward or whether it's better to desist.
